Shortly after, another force of thousands of elite troops, clad in finely forged iron armor, charged out of the forest like a torrent.

The sounds of fierce combat filled the air!

Each of these soldiers was among the most elite.

Their presence radiated a staggering aura of menace!

...

Troop after troop made their appearance.

Each army was elite and incredibly powerful!

As soon as they appeared, large numbers of the Ye family’s soldiers were easily slaughtered.

Not only that, but many more Ye family soldiers were overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from their opponents, their spirits and will shaken, even harboring thoughts of retreat!

In the ensuing battle, the eighty-thousand-strong army was completely outmatched!

Waldo’s Barbarian Fighters, Iron Wolf Guards, All-Purpose Scouts, and Strong Warriors were all elite troops, many times more powerful than the ordinary soldiers of this world!

Troop after troop appeared, each without warning...

The Ye family’s soldiers were repeatedly surprised and caught off guard.

Who knew if there were more ambushes ahead!

Some were fearful, panicking...

Thus, the eighty-thousand-strong army disintegrated!

...

"Damn it, less than a thousand men, a small castle, not to be feared? Mountain bandits, easily defeated? Ridiculous! Misleading intelligence has doomed us!"

"Cursed be, our army is in disarray, beyond salvation! Retreat! Better to preserve our strength for future battles!"

Wade Long and other Ye family generals, seeing the hopeless situation, were filled with sorrow.

It was like a dream.

One moment they were commanding a mighty army, full of confidence, hardly considering this opponent worthy.

The next moment, their army was routed, and they had to flee in disarray...

This scene was too surreal.

But they had no time to ponder.

Immediately, under the escort of their personal guards, they attempted to break through the encirclement!

...

"Hehe, thinking of escaping? Darell Colea, lead the Iron Wolf Guards, capture them! Alive or dead, bring them back! Don’t let a single one escape!"

Waldo noticed the movements of the Ye family’s main generals and immediately gave the order.

Darell and Colea received the order and immediately took action.

The great battle concluded.

Rivers of blood!

In the forest, on the roads, in the streams, blood flowed, painting a tragic scene...

Soon, Darell and Colea returned with several heads.

These were the commanders of the Ye family’s army.

Eighty thousand troops had set out!

The entire army was annihilated!

The battle shocked the world!

"All the generals and eighty thousand troops annihilated?"

In Ye City.

Inside the Ye family’s main hall, resembling a palace, a dignified man dressed in a dragon-

patterned robe sat at the highest seat.

His thick eyebrows fiercely twitched.

Anger clearly surged in his eyes.

"Good, good, good!"

"A mere castle lord has annihilated my eighty thousand troops, very good! Very good!"

The ruler of the Ye family was furious.

The lord who commanded the respect of millions in Tianzhou was enraged, and the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

In the palace, the wind howled as if in turmoil, and no one else in the hall dared to breathe loudly.

The Ye family was a regional overlord.

Their two experienced generals, leading eighty thousand troops to subdue a seemingly insignificant ant, a minor power...

The result was the complete annihilation of their forces!

The Ye family’s reputation was utterly ruined by this battle.

As the head of the family, how could he not be enraged?

Immediately.

The Ye family patriarch, Ye Wutian, issued an order.

"Spread the word, within ten days, I want all information about this person. Anyone who dares to hide information will be executed without mercy! Those who provide key information will be rewarded with endless wealth and power!"

His voice thundered like a storm across the heavens.

A turmoil erupted!

The entire Tianzhou region was stirred by this incident!

...

"What? Say that again!"

"Waldo has defeated the Ye family’s punitive force? Not only did he resolve his own crisis, but he also annihilated the enemy completely?"

Inside the palace of the Xiao family head, Xiao Chen stood up in shock!

This news was staggering!

He had envisioned countless possibilities, the best being Waldo barely escaping with his life,

But he expected that Waldo’s foundation would surely be destroyed, and the castle demolished!

That was the most conservative and best possible outcome.

After all, the Ye family’s Wade Long and Ye Heavenly Dragon were renowned generals.

Even Xiao Chen had heard of them before!

Surviving was the best outcome.

More likely, Waldo would have no place for burial!

But now...

"Waldo actually managed to completely rout the enemy!"

"Amazing!"

"Genius!"

"Shocking!"

"Waldo is truly extraordinary!"

Recalling his interactions with Waldo, Xiao Chen’s face remained filled with astonishment.

"But how did Waldo annihilate an army of eighty thousand with only four or five hundred men under his command?"

After regaining his composure and thinking it over, Xiao Chen found many puzzling aspects.

Waldo seemed incredibly mysterious, possibly harboring great secrets!

"Perhaps when I first met him, I only saw a fraction of his true nature."

"From our first meeting, I sensed an indescribable majesty about him. Such a presence is not possible unless one has long been in a high position of power!"

"Waldo is indeed a remarkable person! In the future, he may perform even more astonishing feats!"

"Let’s wait and see! No matter what storms he stirs up in Tianzhou, I believe, given our families’ relationship, Waldo will never be an enemy of the Xiao family!"

"Perhaps, once Waldo has grown stronger, he might even lend a helping hand to our Xiao family!"

With this thought in mind.

Xiao Chen immediately got up and left the palace.

He rode a majestic dragon-blooded horse, smoothly arriving at the Xiao family’s main hall to meet his father.

"Father, I have an urgent matter to discuss!"

...

The news of the Ye family’s eighty-thousand-strong army being defeated in the Devil’s Forest spread rapidly, becoming well-known among the trialists.

In the chat channel, a huge discussion erupted!

"That guy achieved a great victory!"

"So powerful!"

"Unbelievable!"

"An army of eighty thousand besieged him, and he turned it around to annihilate them! If I wasn’t so hungry right now, I’d think I was still dreaming!"

"What’s the name of this incredible guy?"

"Hard to imagine, a shock of a lifetime!"

This battle had a profound impact on the trialists, equivalent to mountains collapsing and rivers reversing, evaporating their beliefs of victory!

Their worldviews and spirits were greatly shaken!

At the same time, there was speculation about the identity of this mysterious trialist.

However, those who knew the true situation were very few.

Mostly, it was guesswork.

What was true and what was false, it was hard to discern!
